McKenzie Fellowships

McKenzie Fellowships are funded by The University of Melbourne and enable researchers to take up three year research positions at the University, along with an additional $25,000 to be spent on project costs over the term of their Fellowship.

The DECRA scheme is funded by the Australian government through the Australian Research Council (ARC), and supports early career researchers who have typically received their PhD in the last 5 years, or have eligible commensurate career interruption. DECRAs provide funding for three year fellowships along with up to $40,000 p.a. for research expenses including (but not limited to) fieldwork, conference travel and research assistance.
